Add a Go example client for /api/analyze #158
Description
examples/ has a Python client and a Node client (examples/node_client.mjs, tested by tests/test_node_client.py). A Go one would help people calling SlopTotal from Go services.
What to do:
- Add
examples/go_client/main.go, standard library only (net/http,encoding/json). It should do whatnode_client.mjsdoes: read the text from an argument or stdin, POST it to/api/analyzeonSLOPTOTAL_URL(defaulthttp://localhost:8000), and print the overall score, the verdict and the five engines with the highest scores. - Add
tests/test_go_client.pymodelled ontests/test_node_client.py: a local fake server,go runagainst it, and a check of the output. Skip the test whengois not installed, as the Node test does. - Add one line for it to the examples section of the README.
Done when: go vet ./examples/go_client is clean, the test passes with Go installed and is skipped without it.
New here? AGENTS.md is a two-minute brief and CONTRIBUTING.md covers setup. The unit tests run in seconds with no model downloads (pip install -r requirements-dev.txt && pytest -q). Comment below to take this issue.

I would like to claim this issue. I will implement examples/go_client/main.go using only the standard library (
et/http, encoding/json), add ests/test_go_client.py modelled on ests/test_node_client.py, and update the README examples section.

Welcome, Abinaya, I've assigned #158 to you. Start by reading
examples/node_client.mjsandtests/test_node_client.pyso the Go client matches their behaviour and output, then addexamples/go_client/main.go(stdlib only,SLOPTOTAL_URLdefaulting to[link removed] text from argument or stdin) andtests/test_go_client.pywith the same skip whengois missing. Runpytest -qandruff check app tests scripts, plusgo vet ./examples/go_client, and putCloses #158` in the PR description. The README line goes in the examples section near the Node client.If SlopTotal is useful to you, a ⭐ on the repository helps other people find it.
Automated reply from the SlopTotal assistant. @pablocaeg reads every thread.

I have opened PR #189 implementing the Go example client (examples/go_client/main.go), regression unit tests in ests/test_go_client.py, and updated documentation in the README examples section.
